Policy Forum 07-034: Gold Digging: Getting to the Bottom of the Treasury Department’s Economic Campaign Against North Korea
China Matters, a blog online at: http://chinamatters.blogspot.com/, writes, “Every time the North Korean dog sticks its head out of its Chinese kennel, we beat it on the snout with a stick and force it back to the heel of its Chinese master. And we persist with the policy even when it runs counter to our current diplomatic efforts and security strategy for the region. It’s a policy that’s blind, self-defeating, and futile. And now that the U.S. has abandoned a policy of confrontation with North Korea, it’s also become ridiculous.”

Policy Forum 07-035: Transforming the U.S. Relationship with China
Donald G. Gross, Senior Fellow at The Atlantic Council of the United States, Asia Programs, in Washington, DC, writes, “As the dominant country in the Asia-Pacific, the U.S. faces a crucial strategic choice: it can use its superior diplomatic, political, military and economic power to negotiate a historic Framework Agreement with China that achieves a fundamental shift in the paradigm of U.S.-China relations. Or, to the contrary, the U.S. can narrowly focus on protecting its domestic market and bolstering its military presence in East Asia in expectation of an inevitable conflict with China.”

Policy Forum 07-033: Famine in North Korea: Markets, Aid and Reform
Stephan Haggard and Marcus Noland, authors of Famine in North Korea: Markets, Aid, and Reform, write, “While we welcome the February 13 agreement, ongoing conflicts over implementation underline that it was a first step only. We are still far from either resolving the North Korea’s chronic food emergency or successfully denuclearizing of the Korean peninsula.”
